Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has described as shameful and lack of tact, the
PDP’s decision to field the man it had roundly condemned as a
non-achiever as governor of Edo state.
In a statement released by Mr. John Mayaki, the Director of
Communication and Media, of his Campaign Organization, Ize-Iyamu said it
was confusing that “today, the PDP is singing Godwin Obaseki’s praise,
claiming he is the almighty, the saint, the blameless after parading him
as a failure who deceived the courts and INEC with counterfeit
credentials.
He said: “The same PDP dragged Obaseki before a judge, pointing out the
inconsistencies in his academic records, seeking judicial order to stop
him from assessing the government corridors.”
“Today, the PDP says Obaseki has initiated programs and policies in Edo
State when only a few weeks ago before their tax collectors were
settled, the party branded the embattled Governor a complete failure who
reversed the growth and development of Edo State.”
“The naked truth is that the PDP has neither plan nor strategy for
winning this election or to lead Edo state. They, therefore, resort to
the only one thing that works for failures: excuses and mudslinging.”
“Although yet subtle, what PDP is doing is simply the use of an
opponents’ negative publicity to show its lack of content, vision,
ideas, and as a shield for the internal wrangling ongoing in the party.”
“It is a shame that this party that brought out Aliko Dangote from his
trademark political non-alignment and characteristic silence still has
the audacity to make national statements that still border on falsehood
and deception.”
